Delta Pro Wading Jacket
The Sitka Delta Pro Wading Jacket is built to withstand serious weather for serious hunters. It features 3-layer GORE-TEX Pro fabric that is waterproof and breathable, as well as a durable nylon outer face. It also includes water-resistant cuffs, strategically placed storage pockets, and hand warmer pockets. Spend enough time hunting in the elements, and you’ll understand the importance of a dedicated wading jacket. Best of all, it’s over $150 off right now.
Silent Stalker Elite Parka
It’s no secret that some of the best duck hunting days of the year are some of the coldest. If you love chasing cold fronts and migrating birds, then a good insulated jacket is essential. The Redhead Silent Stalker Elite Parka features a waterproof and windproof outer shell paired with a 200-gram insulated inner shell to keep you warm in the worst conditions. In addition, these two layers can be combined into one jacket or worn on their own for added versatility in the duck woods.
Instinct Puffy Vest
Hunting vests are one of the most overlooked but useful pieces of waterfowl hunting apparel. In the right conditions, they will keep you warm without restricting your range of motion. Cabela’s Instinct Puffy Vest falls into this category thanks to its blend of Primaloft and down insulation, creating an exceptionally warm garment to keep you warm while hunting. It also features a hood, which is a great feature for added coverage when the weather turns.
Sherpa-Lined Long Sleeve
The Redhead Sherpa-lined Long Sleeve fills the gap between hunting apparel and casual wear you can wear into town. It features a sherpa insulation lining that extends its uses from an early-season outer layer to a late-season underlayer. In addition, the classic pattern and several color options make it a great everyday wear piece worth picking up this season.
Silent-Hide Flex Fit Pants
Redhead’s Silent-Hide Flex Pants are a popular option among white-tail and big game hunters, but that’s not to say they don’t have a place in waterfowl hunting. The silent nature of these pants makes them a great option for field hunters looking to minimize noise in a layout blind or A-frame. They also double as a solid pair of under wader pants for early season hunts.
Stratalite XT Rubber Boots
Rubber boots have more than their fair share of uses in waterfowl hunting. From wading shallow water to hunting muddy fields, they keep your feet dry and out of the elements. These DryShod Stratalite XT Rubber Boots feature 5mm insulation for cold hunts, a reinforced heel and toe for durability, and excellent arch support. For just $99.98, it’s hard to beat these rubber boots this season.
Crosshair II Insulated Boots
Some hunters prefer the added support of a laced boot compared to rubber boots when field hunting. If that’s the case, consider the Irish Setter Crosshair II Insulated Boot. These waterproof boots have excellent ankle support as well as foam footbeds to maximize comfort and support for long days of hunting. In addition, these boots are insulated, making them an excellent choice for frigid late-season hunts.
